Tips & Strategies

The dung beetle will attack you if you get too close. They are not very dangerous though.
More Dung Beetle Encountering Tips
On Ragnorak you can find them in the volcano biome beside the highlands . Very easy tame just use a couple of spoiled meats or dung. They have to be on wander to produce fertilizer, i keep mine in my greenhouse.
Probably the most powerful creature on the whole island
If your playing on the lost island you can find some in the swamp
If you wish to find these, look hard in the south cave. There is bound to be one there
On the island, I think the easiest place to find them is in the lower south cave. Go in with a longneck or a shotgun, turn left at the first intersection, kill the boas and spiders I. The first chamber, near the end of it thereโs usually 1-3 beetles. Tame, and carry back to base w/ Petra. Easy fertilizer.
They can destroy wooden structures. I was in the east underwatercave for deep SEA loot and Had a 1x1 wooden House with a bed. I had No weapon and so a lvl 200 dungbeatle Killed me nearly, Destroyer my bed and my foundation not what i expected.
these are amazing, i made an island for them, they love it!!
I have only seen these in caves so far but they are useful for fertiliser when you are growing crops and Plants Species X etc.
The dung beetles are often found in caves and around swamps
On Valguero, they only spawn in the scar so be careful for Wyvs but grappling hooks work perfectly in PVE if youโre alone. I used a PT for easy getaways :)
